The Schafhausen Falls.


The nearest thing we have in Europe
to the Niagara Falls, the Rhine Falls
at Schaffhausen, has just been threat
ened in exactly the same way as the
great American spectacle. A short
time ago it was announced that Messrs.
Neher & Sons, of Laufen, were making
arrangements to construct a huge dam,
by means of which they hoped to subsi-
die the Rhine to the degree of $4,000
horsepower for the service of their fac
tories, There was at once loud cutlery
in the Swiss papers. A protest was
raised against the project, and an APP
peal sent to the Great Council of Schaff-
hansen, in which the two pleas Of
beauty and business were made on be-
half of letting the Rhine continue on
its present course. The Schaffhausen
Government has accordingly forbidden
the scheme on the twofold ground of
Ideal interests and 1.-THE interests Of
the FremdeninduStrie" that is to say,
of the present value of the Rhine Falls
as a spectacle attracting the foreigner.

NEW GOLD FIELDS.
Discovery of Rich Mineral Deposits in
Southern India and British Guinea.

Discovery of Rich Mineral Deposits in
Southern India and British Guinea.
New and apparently rich and extern
sive GOLD fields have been discovered in
Mysore, a native state of Southern In
Ola. The country is an elevated table
land of largely granite formation. The
Oewan of MySore, in his recent budget
speech before the Representative As
sembly of the State, announced that
although only a beginning had been
made of opening the mines, already
SS,36S rupees had been paid into the
Government Treasury as royalty on
{he gold extracted. History and tradi-
bon point to Mysore as country which
in remote past produced great guam
titles of gold, and the remains of ex-
tensive ancient workings are found
scattered throughout the country.
East Indian authorities affirm that
the Ophir of King Solomon is now
identified as part of Mysore. 1t
might be easier to take that asser-
zion for granted than to find the
proof, but if rich and extensive
gold fields can be developed in a
Country having healthful climate and
Communication by rail with British In
uia, the miners can afford to leave the
question of identification to the anti
6uarianS while working this welcome
addition to the specie resources of the
world for all it is worth. Still later
come advices through Consular chan
Hels of gold discoveries in British Gui-
Ina. No lodges have been discovered,
but about 8 1000 persons, mostly colored
and inexperienced in gold mining, took
but about $3.50, 900 last year by washing
IN the water-courses, and this year the
output is expected to reach $4,000, 900.
The climate is very insalubrious, espe-
cially to whites; but the thirst for gold
,will lead thousands to dare the most
presidential cline if it promise fortune.
1t is opportune that when the decrease
OF the product of California and Aus
tralia creates a fear of scarcity of gold
for the wants of business, that these
discoveries, in connection with Others
in Columbia, Bolivia, Patagonia, South
Africa. China, Alaska and elsewhere,
seem likel. to maintain the needed sup

Which perhaps may cause you tears;
But a mothers kiss can heal
Many griefs that children feel.
Trust your mother; seek to prove
Grateful for her thoughtful love.

In temptations evil hour,
Seek her, ere it gains new power.
She will never guide you wrong;
Faith in her will make you strong
Trust your mother; aim to prove

Trust your mother, maiden fair;
Love will guide your steps with care.

Trust your mother; seek to prove
Worthy Of her faithful love.
Trust your mother to the end,
She will prove your constant friend;
For It's gladness wings the hour,
Share with her the joyful shower;
Or If sorrow should Cypress,
She will smile and she will bless.
Oh be trustful, loving, true,
That she may contide inyOu.

natural that l knew it the minute | saw
it. l have seen so many of them, you
know, and they have been coming so
Internally regular Of late, that would
know one if l didn't see it. In the
calm, still night, when nothing can be
heard save the mercury sliding down
into the bulb of the thermometer, my
birthday comes up the back stairs
orawls through the Seyhole, and in less
than a minute l have another year
added to my age. This has been kept
up until it has groTL mo1otOnOna but
what am | to do about itP
When a man is boy, or rather be-
fore the boy becomes a man, his birth
days come around so slowly that he
fears he will die of old age before he
will see the next one, and in some
cases it is pity he doesn't. He wants
to be man and spit tobacco juice over
the surrounding scenery, or put his
eighteen karat name on a promissory
note. He wants to be his own boss.
But too soon the day comes when he
would rather be a boy than Jim Cum
mings. You see, I've had experience.
When man hasn't time to recover
from rough and tumble with one
birthday before another one grabs him
and whirls him around a few times, he
may well remark: Here's pretty
state of thingsr'
A birthday is something that we have
all had more or less experience with, l
think. Some of us, especially the old
maid portion of us, have learned how
to handle it carefully and conceal its
blemishes, or sequester it entirely.
They think old Father Time is rather

Twenty-Five or thirty years ago these
things did not weigh on my mind as
they do now. Then l sat on the fence

took Ruby with them. Imagine their
surprise when, after the lecturer had
been through long and somewhat
prosy talk on rents, he said; "Why,
ladies and gentlemen, l have even

rent for about a square rod of ground

People said that Squire Ellington
grew very red when this story was

bought the shoes and the canary, and
by good management she saved twenty

The vanilla bean CASUALLY called

creeper which, although growing from
the root, is a parasite, as it will grow
even when cut from the root; for il
takes its substance from the tree, around
which it clings by means of its thou
sands of fine tendrils. Like all para
sites, there are trees which are par
acularly adapted to its support They
are planted about ten feet apart, in
rows. at the foot of small trees which
are left in clearing the land. They be-
gin to bear the third year, and in
favorable years give from $500 to 81 ,OOC
per acre. No cultivation is needed but
to cut down the grass and weeds, no
blowing or digging being necessary,

Der and October, but if left till the end

different classes, but they are sold by

GOING AFTER COLEMAN.
The Illinois Live Stock Commissioners on
Their Ears.


SPRINGFIELD: January 14.-The state
live stock commissioners to-day made pub
lie their reply to commissioner Coleman, OF
the Agricultural department at Washing
ton. 1t is as long or longer than Coleman q
letter and assails him vigorously. The
commissioners impute to Coleman mali
cious and vicious motives for his attack
and claim that the discovery OF pleuro,
pneumonia in Illinois was due to them and
that the government bureau OF agriculture
never discovered a case in any state. They
say Coleman is now pretending before the
public to hold views on the matter that he
and his subordinates knew perfectly well
are entirely different from those expressed
at the time of the trouble. As to the con-
dition of Shufeldt's distillery sheds, the
commissioners say the facts are not as
Coleman has stated. They charge he has
neglected to familiarize himself with the
laws of Illinois on the subject and
consequently his recommendations to the
Governor are puerile. The commissioners
undertake to show that Coleman's COM
munication is an entire Misrepresentation
OF their acts. and that his complaints con-
tain malicious Interpretations for the pur-
pose OF deceiving the public. They charge
that the commissioners have sought to
magnify Shufeldt's matter. The board
claims to have done more in ninety days to
suppress pneumonia, with limited appro-
priations. than the Department OF Agricul-
ture has done in more than two and a half
years, with ample appropriations, scien-
tifc knowledge and appliances, and to have
established precedents that the depart
ment has been unable to establish. The
Board charges that the department has
not the capacity to handle the pleuro-
pneumonia question.
